it 50 out side, gas on, oils good, all stock, rode for about 2 hours got back home, let it sit for about 20 min to cool down before i put it away, went to start it ran for about 10 sec died, then tried about 8 move times won't start, it starts, runs about 20sec sounds like its starvin for fuel, and air, dies, closed choke started revs up moved coke down, dies, so i got it started, quickly moved it ran fine, parked it, turned it off, same thing happened again won't start and when it does start it only runs with the choke on, move the choke and it dies, i know its hell in the cold at first but after 2 hours of riding any help

It's alright to run it even ride it with the choke on. You might have gotten moisture in somewhere during the cool down thats what happens with things get warm and cool down.

sounds exactly what mine did when it needed to go on "reserve" fuel.
If you think you can almost can see the middle hump inside the tank, it's about to need the reserve.

its running lean...real lean. take a look at all the fittings, and the intake boot and air boot there it attaches to the carb. something most likely loosened and it is sucking air into the carb and causing a lean contdition. also, take the float boal off and clean around the gasket and out it back on. that should solce your problem. otherwise, check and see if the intake boot, or air boot to see if they r dry rotted, cuz they might be dry rotted and letting air pass through. either way, the bike suddenly went really really lean
